’Roo Women’s Hoops Drops Home Finale

The Austin College women’s basketball game fell 65-54 in the team’s home finale on Saturday evening, bringing the team’s record to 9-11 overall and 3-7 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

Centenary jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead but the ‘Roos battled back with an 11-2 run highlighted by two Erin Riley three pointers to make it 11-8 with 12:47 left in the opening half. After the Ladies jumped back on top, Riley drilled another three to make it 14-12, but Centenary responded with seven straight points to make it a 19-14 game at the 7:06 mark.

A Rhonda Martin three and a bucket from Brianna Edwards pushed the Centenary lead to 29-19, but four quick points from Brittany Stepanski helped the ‘Roos send the game into the half with the score 34-26.

The Centenary lead grew to 13 early in the second half before six straight points from Stepanski cut it to a 41-32 game with 15:07 left, but Rebecca Thompsons answered with six points in a row of her own to push it to a 47-32 with 12:10 left in the game. Threes from Christina Kime and Shayna Clardy helped trim it to an eight point margin, and three more points from Clardy made it a 54-49 game with 3:50 to play but that’s as close as the ‘Roos would get as Centenary scored the next nine to make it 63-49 with 2:19 left and would not look back.

Stepanski scored 17 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and added two blocks to register her third consecutive double-double in the loss. Riley hit 4-of-8 threes and finished with 15 points and seven rebounds, and Kime finished with nine points and five assists.
